I’ve been having the same monkey rag since I was 14. I wash it about once every week or so.

I have my pawpaw's oyster knife, but I only use that once or twice a year. Probably from the 50s.

When I bought a shotgun house near City Park nola in 97, there was a rusty old cast iron skillet underneath the kitchen. It fit the lid for my 5qt Dutch oven, so my dad refurbished it and I still use it almost daily. No idea how old.
I also have my grandaddy''s fly rod from 1950ish, but never use it. It's a garage deceoration.

I have a lot of kitchen ware from my grandmothers. They are from the 50-60's.

I asked for my great-gram's and gram's everyday dishes. I just wanted something I remember using with them as a kid, not something expensive. (But as it turns out they are worth money as they are a collectible).

So I have an entire big set of melamine dishes, it has all sorts of special cups, bowl, etc.

I also got her tupperware tumblers, bowls,special items which is all in immaculate condition, even special collector pieces.

Kinda cool to have all that because I remember it so well from being a kid so I like it.

A few years ago my wife’s grandfather passed away. My FIL and I was cleaning out his shed a couple years later and found a radio flyer wagon still in the box from 1963. We put it together and my kids still play with it. They have a “brand new” 55 year old wagon.

Circa 1980 stereo that I turn on every time I work in the garage. Just like this one.



It may be getting supplemented with my Aiwa stereo soon though just because I don’t have anywhere else to put it.
